Japrisot Sébastien Books

A lonely young woman in a French seaside town, victim of a horrific attack, turns the tables on her tormentor, shoots him dead and dumps his body in the sea. She thinks she has got away with it ...

From the author of A Very Long Engagement, comes an ingenious psychological thriller.

When the night train pulled into Paris, she was dead. And the riddle began . . . A beautiful young woman lies sprawled on her berth in the sleeping car of the night train from Marseille to Paris. She is not in the embrace of sleep, or even in the arms of one of her many lovers. She is dead. And the unpleasant task of finding her killer is handed to overworked, crime-weary police detective Pierre 'Grazzi' Grazziano, who would rather play hide-and-seek with his little son than cat and mouse with a diabolically cunning, savage murderer. Sébastien Japrisot takes the reader on an express ride of riveting suspense that races through a Parisian landscape of lust, deception and death. With corpses turning up everywhere, the question becomes not only who is the killer, but who will be the next victim . . .

Elle est la plus blonde, la plus belle, la plus myope, la plus sentimentale, la plus menteuse, la plus vraie, la plus déroutante, la plus obstinée, la plus inquiétante des héroines. La dame dans l'auto n'a jamais vu la mer, elle fuit la police et se répete sans cesse qu'elle n'est pas folle... Pourtant... Ce qui lui arrive est a n'y rien comprendre.

Comme pour lui dire que partout, ou qu'elle soit, on pourra lui faire mal, par petits bouts, jusqu'a la fin, que jamais, quelle que soit la fuite, elle ne pourra etre seule, libérée de ce qu'elle sait, du passé et de ce qu'elle cache...
